Today we release the Digital Signet Archive, which includes digital PDF versions of our archived collection. We encourage you to share this archive and information with our brotherhood because,
Directions of use are as follows: The Signet Archive
To Develop Character: Honor is the basis of fraternal relationships. We resolve to instill in each member a devotion to those values which will guide him to ends that are noble and right, so that in all that he represents and in all that he does, he shall be known as a man of honor who inspires others by his example and thus wins admiration and respect for himself and for Phi Sigma Kappa.
Phi Sigma Kappa International Headquarters and the Grand Chapter seek to instill this Cardinal Principle within our members. Every brother should strive to develop his character throughout his lifetime so that…
"…be known as a man of honor who inspires others by his example and thus wins admiration and respect for himself and for Phi Sigma Kappa."
This Cardinal Principle is the very core of our Fraternity and is what defines it to the world.
Today, on our Founders' Day, we are launching a new program to recognize those brothers that seek to define this Principle by the actions they take in their lives. The Grand Council's new "Man of Character" program will recognize up to four undergraduate brothers a year that they see as defining "To Develop Character" and what it means to our Fraternity.
This Founders' Day they would like to recognize Brother Alexander Biniaz-Harris (Southern Cal '15) with this honor. Alex has displayed leadership through his time at the University of Southern California in multiple ways. He was a founding father during the Omega Deuteron recolonization, has held positions within the chapter and is heavily involved in organizations outside of the chapter, in particular, the USC Shoah Foundation, which he has been involved with since his freshman year. Below you can read more about Alex and his work with the Shoah Foundation and his once in a lifetime trip to Kraków, Poland to perform his co-composed piano piece, Auschwitz Suite, for the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp this past January.
Look for more on Alex in this upcoming Spring Signet issue in June.
More information and criteria on this new initiative will be released this week. Nominees must be undergraduate brothers in good standing with the Fraternity and can be nominated by anyone.
The Foundation will match local scholastic achievement awards given by chapters, colonies or alumni clubs, dollar for dollar, up to a maximum of $300 per chapter for the first 15 chapters to apply.

Super Computing Posts - Page 3
Raspberry Pi and Lego used to build supercomputer - yes, lego
Researchers at the University of Southampton have done something that only us mere mortals could only dream of, build a supercomputer from Raspberry Pi's and Lego.
They've called this Iridis-Pi, which is a very small 64-node cluster made from Raspberry Pi's Debian Wheezy distribution, linked through Ethernet. On their lonesome, Raspberry Pi's are not that powerful, but in a cluster with 1TB worth of storage in SD cards, that's another question.
Rackmounting the cluster was done in a very interesting way, where team lead Simon Cox and his son James put the entire array into two towers of Lego. LEGO!!! There are even instructions so you could do this at home if you've got the money for some Raspberry Pi's and some spare Lego around. The entire system cost less than $4,026 or so to make, which is not too bad at all.
IBM announces next-gen mainframes, 'zEnterprise' sport 5.5GHz processors
IBM has bragging rights at the moment, with the world's fastest server chip clocking in at an incredible 5.5GHz. IBM's new zEnterprise EC12 mainframe cost the company $1 billion in development, and offers 25% more performance courtesy of their hexacore processors.
IBM's zEnterprise EC12 mainframes are available in multiple configurations, with as many as 120 cores available. All models will include transactional execution support, as well as Enhanced-DAT2, allowing 2GB page frames for more efficient utilization of huge quantities of RAM.
Another jewel of the newly-introduced zEnterprise EC12 mainframe is IBM's cryptographic co-processor, Crypto Express4S. It's quite special as its tamper-proof, providing privacy when handling transactions, and other similarly sensitive data. Crypto Express4S also offers multiple security configurations to support the requirements, and needs of bankers and other organizations handling sensitive data. This includes the information on smart passports and ID cards.

Department of Energy gives NVIDIA $12.4 million for exascale computer research
The U.S. Department of Energy have granted a two-year, $12.4 million contract for the research and development of exascale computer technology to NVIDIA. Scientists from DoE, and engineers from NVIDIA will work together in order to advance the field and produce an exascale computer that operates at a "reasonable" power level.
The focus of the joint effort will be on developing processor architecture, circuits, memory architecture, high-speed signalling, and programming models. The work done will involve thousands of throughput-optimized cores that will handle most of the heavy lifting, while some latency-optimized cores will do the residual serial computing. Seven DoE laboratories will guide NVIDIA as to what kind of scientific workloads the exascale computer will need to handle.
It was only last week that AMD were granted $12.6 million from the FastForward program for the same exascale research. The future is looking quite green indeed.
AMD receives $12.6 million supercomputing grant from U.S. government
AMD has been granted a $12.6 million grant under the FastForward program, where they'll use the funds to research next-generation supercomputing technology. FastForward is part of a joint effort between the National Nuclear Security Administration and the Department of Energy designed to advance research of exascale computers.
Exascale computers are going to open a can of whoop ass against the current supercomputers like Blue Waters, currently installed at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign that max out at around a thousand trillion operations per second, otherwise known as a petaflop. Exascale is set to process data up to a thousand times faster than current-generation petascale supercomputers. We're talking about some serious power here.
AMD will split the $12.6 million into $9.6 million to fund processor research and will use the remaining $3 million for memory advancements. This can only be good news, as AMD have been struggling for quite a while now. AMD have also previously worked with the U.S. government on supercomputer projects, with Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Jaguar supercomputer being AMD-powered. Upgrades for that system known as Titan, are already under way. AMD have provided nearly 20,000 Opteron processors, worth close to $300,000.
The fastest GPU supercomputer in the UK was just switched on, good morning, Emerald
The flick has been switched for the most powerful GPU supercomputer, Emerald, at the Science and Technology Facilities Council's Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) in Oxfordshire, U.K., the two systems working together "will give businesses and academics unprecedented access to their super-fast processing capability".
The insane amounts of power will allow researchers to run simulations that range from health care to astrophysics. The supercomputer combo will be used to look at the Tamiflu vaccine's effect on swine flu, Square Kilometre Array project data, climate change modelling and 3G/4G communications modelling. The official launch of the e-Infrastructure South Consortium took place at the same time, coinciding with Emerald's unveiling.

IBM builds supercopmputer that uses water cooling to cool the system and heat surrounding buildings
Liquid cooling has been becoming more and more mainstream, thanks in part to closed-system water cooling units. IBM didn't want supercomputers left out so they designed a water cooling system for Europe's most powerful supercomputer. However, things become just a bit tougher when you start dealing with 18,000 processors compared to one or two.
The supercomputer sports 18,000 Xeon processors along with 324TB of memory. Both the processors and the memory are liquid cooled in this new system. The genius behind this system is that it cuts down on cooling costs for the supercomputer as well as cutting down on heating costs for the surrounding buildings.
It does this by heating the water to 45*C and then by pumping it through an exchanger which provides heat for the surrounding buildings. This water cooling system can, according to IBM, result in a 40% reduction of power usage which is good for up to 1 million euros. This is just the start of liquid cooling for IBM as they want to put the coolant pathways directly into the chip.

NCSA is building a supercomputer with 380 petabytes of storage... of magnetic tape capacity
Just when you thought tape was dead, the National Center for Supercomputing Applications is getting ready to build a new storage infrastructure that will include 380 petabytes (PB) of magnetic tape capacity which will be backed up by 25 petabytes of online disk storage made up from 17,000 SATA drives.
The new storage infrastructure is said to be built to support one of the world's most powerful supercomputers, Blue Waters. Blue Waters was commissioned by the National Science Foundation (NSF), and is expected to have a peak performance of 11.5 petaflops. The NCSA says that they're building the system to:
Predict the behavior of complex biological systems, understand how the cosmos evolved after the Big Bang, design new materials at the atomic level, predict the behavior of hurricanes and tornadoes, and simulate complex engineered systems like the power distribution system and airplanes and automobiles.

Microsoft Research roughly triples amount of data sorted in 60 seconds while using less hardware
Microsoft has announced a victory in the MinuteSort test. They claim to have tripled the amount of data sorted by the previous record holder, a Yahoo team. MinuteSort is a test to see how much data can be sorted in just a mere 60 seconds. As more data moves into the cloud, this ability to sort data quickly becomes a bigger and bigger issue.
According to Microsoft's post on TechNet, "In raw numbers, the team's system sorted 1401 gigabytes in just 60 seconds - using 1033 disks across 250 machines." This hardware compared to what Yahoo ran is roughly "one-sixth of the hardware resources" and managed to sort around 3 times as much data. You can see that the Microsoft solution is much more efficient.
Additionally, it's interesting to note that Microsoft Research didn't use Hadoop as one might expect. Instead, the researchers at Microsoft created a new system called "Flat Datacenter Storage." The "flat" portion is the important part of the system. Microsoft explains:
[Microsoft Research's Jeremy] Elson compares FDS to an organizational chart. In a hierarchical company, employees report to a superior, then to another superior, and so on. In a "flat" organization, they basically report to everyone, and vice versa.

Google's next data center to be more energy efficient, uses thermal energy storage
Google and green, it goes hand-in-hand and their next data center will be built with energy savings in mind. Google have previously been good at this with other data centers that are energy-efficient and green. Their latest data center to be built in Taiwan will use thermal energy storage.
Thermal energy storage systems commonly use chilled liquid or ice to act as a thermal battery, enabling a data center operator to run air conditioning at night (when rates are obviously cheaper) and during the day, pump the chilled liquid around the facility for cooling.
Increasing electricity rates in Taiwan will be a big reason for Google to tap the thermal storage solution, where they can skip the peak power rates at night and just use liquid or ice as its also cleaner, and a longer lasting way to store energy rather than using batteries. A Google exec has cited the the increasing electricity rates in Taiwan is a reason for building the new system, and also notes that the new Taiwan-based data center will use 50-percent less energy than typical facilities.
Google is planning on spending $700 million on three new data centers in Taiwan, which will be the the company's third data center cluster in Asia, after their first two stops for construction in Hong Kong and Singapore. This will be the first time that Google have used thermal energy storage systems for a data center.
IBM over the next five years will build a low-power, exascale computer for largest-ever radio telescope, promises it won't be Skynet
Over the next five years, IBM is set to work with the Netherland's National Institute of Radio Astronomy (ASTRON) where tehy hope to develop a low-powered, exascale supercomputer. Not impressed yet? Hold onto your chair, dear reader. According to IBM, this supercomputer would be millions of times faster than today's high-end desktop PCs, and possibly thousands of times faster than even the most recent super computers.
The exascale computer would be used to analyze data collected by SKA (square-kilometer array), which is a cutting-edge radio telescope set to become the largest and most sensitive of its kind ever built. ASTRON hopes to have the telescope ready by 2024. While it's still a fair way off, the excitement will only build over time.
Now, this is where you don your math hat, and get ready to have your eyes widen a little: to compare to what we know, and use now, exascale refers to a computing device that is just incredibly fast, where the number of floating-point operations per second it can perform isn't measured by gigaflops or even petaflops, but exaflops. Today's highest-end desktop CPUs rank up around 20 gigaflops, not that impressive in terms of scale to this beast.

Need help optimizing packet processing and video rendering performance
Jun 3, 2009 2:49 AM
I working on an extension to a class project in FPGA design. We have boards sending out black and white video at 15fps via UDP.
Right now I'm trying to get a Java video viewer working. I've set up a loop that receives packets indefinitely and processes them on the fly. The video display is a simple canvas in a JFrame. When I write 8x8 blocks in a single color, the video comes through just fine, albeit it at a very low resolution. When I try to do all of the necessary bit twiddling (which is much, much more painful in Java than in Verilog) to decode the additional information, it chokes up and doesn't render properly. It misses entire packets' worth of data.
What puzzles me is that the CPU usage is relatively low - about 12% on a dual core computer - and yet the performance is terrible. Clearly all of the packets make it in since I can reduce the amount of information displayed and handle everything without issue. At that point the CPU usage is around 4%.
Is there a more appropriate way to write video data to the screen than to repeatedly call "fillRect" on a Canvas Graphics object? Is there a way to queue up incoming packets and buffer them for processing between frames?
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Product Description
About the Author
Renowned clothing designer Issey Miyake studied graphic design at the Tama Art University in Tokyo, graduating in 1963. In 1970, he founded the Miyake Design Studio in Tokyo. In the late 80s, he began to experiment with new methods of pleating that would allow both beauty and flexibility of movement for the wearer as well as ease of care and production. This eventually resulted in a new technique called garment pleating and in 1993, the Pleats Please line was launched. After turning over the design of both men's and women's collections to his designers, Miyake worked on the realization of 21_21 Design Sight, a design exhibition institution that opened in 2007 in Tokyo. In 2010, Miyake presented a new and innovative line called "132 5 Issey Miyake". Its concept developed into a lighting series called "IN-EI ISSEY MIYAKE" which was launched in 2012.
Born in Tokyo, Midori Kitamura is the president of the Miyake Design Studio. Starting in 1976 as press attaché, she has worked under Issey Miyake on collections, exhibitions, and publications. She also manages projects for Issey Miyake, including creative direction of products such as perfumes and watches. Kitamura became the president of 21_21 Design Sight in 2009, and was the exhibition director of Irving Penn and Issey Miyake: Visual Dialogue held in 2011. She created the concept and was the editorial director of TASCHEN's Issey Miyake Pleats Please book.

The Classic How-to-Win Guide on One of the Most Exciting and Powerful Chess Openings Played Today
Play the Exciting Dragon! Inside this book are the secrets of one of the most exciting and powerful openings in all of chess - the Sicilian Dragon! Used by amateurs and champons alike, the dragon features brilliant combinations, no-holds-barred assasults, wild sacrifices, and uncompromising positions. This new edition features bigger diagrams, the latest moves and developements, and 30 new game examples.
The Sicilian Dragon
It is not always possible to win a game of chess by obtaining an advantage and then logically converting it into a win. In the games of average players the result is often in doubt until the last blunder and the more resourceful player will usually triumph.
Saving Lost Positions
The FrankensteinDracula Variation (1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.Bc4 Nxe4!?) of the Vienna Game is a monstrous thicket of complications which still have not been fully explored. The opening leads to fascinating positions which will bring enjoyment both in tournament and correspondence play. Although some theorists have treated the variation as dead and buried, experiments have managed to bring the monster variation back to life for Black, and it can now be considered fully playable.
The Frankenstein-Dracula Variation in the Vienna Game of Chess
Updated in 2011 with New Games and Analysis
The popularity of the French Defense has surged to the point where it rivals the Sicilian and the Spanish in the chess international tournament arenas. Always known for its solid character, the French offers Black excellent winning chances in the main lines of the Winawer and in many side variations.
Tarrasch French Guimard Variation with 3...Nc6
Henry Bird's 1.f4 has become the choice of many players who wish to avoid the voluminous theory surrounding 1.e4, 1.d4 and even 1.c4. If Black plays passively then he is likely to find himself in an inferior line, especially if he allows a reversed Dutch defense. But there is an exciting alternative to the main lines - the From Gambit! With l...e5 Black makes it clear that he is willing to fight. The lines which arise often involve forced piece sacrifices for both sides, and knowledge of the middlegame ideas is critical.
How to Play the From Gambit
This book holds the distinction and is famous for being the first chess book Bobby Fischer ever read. As Bobby himself tells the story, when he was 6 years old, one day his sister Joan brought home a plastic chess set she had bought in the market and they learned how to play by reading the instructions on the box. Later, when Bobby had developed an interest in the game, Joan brought home a book appropriately entitled ''First Book of Chess''. It was then a new book, just out.
First Book of Chess
The legendary master comes vividly to life as Dr. Hannak details his childhood, education, decision to become a professional player, great exploits in matches against Marshall, Capablanca, Tarrasch, Schlechter and other players, his happy marriage, flight from Nazi Germany and much more.
Emanuel Lasker - The Life of a Chess Master
An Anti-Sicilian Repertoire for White
The Sicilian Defence is by far the most popular chess opening. If you play 1 e4 as White, on average you are likely to meet the Sicilian in virtually every other game! You need to be prepared to face the Sicilian at all times, and a ready-to-use repertoire against it is an indispensable weapon. In this book, Gawain Jones confronts the challenge of meeting the Sicilian head on. He has constructed a comprehensive Anti-Sicilian repertoire for White, which is based on lines that are successfully employed at grandmaster level.

The book you are holding aims to sustain the tradition, by collecting the hundred best games of volumes 101 - 110, ten of each volume, spanning a period of four years (2007-2011). These games have been methodically selected and strictly evaluated by such esteemed GMs as A. Beliavsky, L. Christiansen, M. Gurevich, M. Marin, A. Mikhalchishin, Z. Ribli, J. Speelman, former women's World Champion Xie Jun and the President of Chess Informant, A. Matanovic.
The Best of the Best - The Next Chapter - 1001 - 1100
The Smyslov Variation was developed by World Chess Champion Vasily Smyslov and used in top level competitions by him and by other World Champions. One advantage is that it can be used frequently. If White plays 1. d4 and Black responds with 1. ...d5, White will almost always play 2. c4. Then after the natural moves 2. ...dxc4 3. Nf3 Nf6 4. e3, Black can play 4. ...g6 which is the Smyslov Variation. The Smyslov Variation is a form of the Queen's Gambit Accepted.
Queen's Gambit Accepted - Smyslov Variation
Updated in 2011 with New, Improved Lines of Play
The Spanish Chess Opening, also known as the Ruy Lopez, named a Spanish clergyman who made it popular, is one of the oldest and most heavily analyzed of openings, with many variations having been analyzed up to move 20. Yet, there are still new things being discovered about it. This book covers early attempts by either side to wrest the initiative from the other by means of an early pawn sacrifice.
Spanish Gambits - UPDATED
This book discusses the first Russian grandmasters and prominent masters, such luminaries as Mikhail Chigorin, Alexander Alekhine, Mikhail Botvinnik, Vasily Smyslov, Paul Keres, Alexander Kotov, Boris Spassky, Mikhail Tal, Alexander Tolush and many others. Also included is a section dedicated to the women players.
The Soviet School of Chess
The Boden-Kieseritzky-Morphy Gambit is lightly regarded and is never played by grandmasters, but it has one of the best records for White of any opening played below the master level. It scores a phenomenal 62% in all games in the chess databases. This book examines an opening which can be quite useful for beginners and amateur chess players. The gambit we will examine (1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Nf6 3.Nf3!? or 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4!?) has been used by Paul Morphy among other strong players. In my view it is as good a gambit as most others.

The advent of "in the cloud" medical records services, such as Microsoft HealthVault and Google Health, promises an explosion in the storage of personal health-care information online.
But these services pose sticky privacy questions — unless you know how to protect your personal medical records.
A promise of safer personal health data
Your private health information is migrating wholesale onto the public network with the advent of online health-care records stored in massive data centers around the world.
While the services aim to make it easier for consumers to access and manage their personal health information, the ready availability of this data also makes it much easier and less expensive for insurers to put your medical history under the microscope.
Surprised? You shouldn't be. You voluntarily grant access to that sensitive information every time you sign a waiver so that your health insurer can decide whether to pay for a doctor's visit, a prescription, or an expensive medical test.
What's more, most of the gathering and collating of this information is legal. In fact, the number of companies that have access to this information runs into the millions, say privacy advocates.

Piecesby Manassas
View All Available Formats & Editions
Manassas were the first band Stephen Stills involved himself with after the breakup of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. He'd recorded a pair of solo albums, but forming this group with ex- and future Byrd and former Flying Burrito Brother Chris Hillman, pedal steel guitarist Al Perkins, Joe Lala from Blues Image, the CSNY rhythm section of Dallas Taylor and Calvin "Fuzzy" Samuels, and session man Paul Harris turned out to be a dream band, for a time. The unit released two albums on Atlantic: its self-titled debut in 1971 (which is widely regarded as a classic) and a less successful follow-up entitled Down the Road in 1972. Stills' and Rhino's Pieces assemblage of Manassas tracks includes outtakes and unreleased numbers from both recordings. This is the first in a series of retrospective recordings that Stills plans to issue, among them a box set, a live set, and (in association with Experience Hendrix) an album of studio session demos he recorded with Jimi Hendrix, his then guitar teacher (Hendrix appeared on Stills' debut solo effort), as well as a live compilation. This Manassas material is a delightful surprise. Since virtually all of it was recorded and originally mixed for inclusion on one of the two albums by the band, it sounds great. The mastering and remixing processes are nearly flawless. Musically, there is a slew of Stills compositions that must have been tough to leave on the cutting-room floor, including superior Manassas versions of a pair of tracks that ended up on Stephen Stills 2 -- "Word Game" and "Sugar Babe." The track "Like a Fox" includes a smoking backing vocal performance from Bonnie Raitt. There are alternate versions of two songs that ended up on Down the Road: "Lies" (with Joe Walsh on guitar) and "Do You Remember the Americans." The remaining tracks -- including stellar yet fun readings of country, Western swing, and bluegrass classics such as Leon McAuliffe's "Panhandle Rag," a moving demo reading of "Dim Lights, Thick Smoke (And Loud, Loud Music)" by Joe Maphis, and Bill Monroe's "Uncle Pen," as well as the Latin rhumba "Tan Sola y Triste" (written by Stills and Nelson Escola) -- reflect the incredible diversity and musicianship of Manassas. Other stellar numbers include the opening "Witching Hour," Chris Hillman's "Love and Satisfy," and a live version of "High and Dry" that just kills. Hindsight being 20/20, and since most of this music is unreleased, there is a real argument to be made that much of it would have served Down the Road more than what made it onto the final product, even though some was recorded for the Manassas debut. Also, it is worth pointing out that since Stills is a native Floridian and this band came together, rehearsed, and recorded in one of his homes in that state, this is one of the first portraits listeners have of the various musical cultures of Florida making it onto tape as country, blues, swamp pop, and Latin styles all mixed in a rock & roll stew while retaining their original characteristics. This is one of the few cases where a collection from the vaults was completely worthwhile. There is no filler, no half-assed fodder included here. If it is any indication at all, Pieces bodes well for the retrospective material Stills will issue in the future.

Stephen Stills has often said that Manassass was the best band he played in. Pretty strong stuff coming from the architect of the Buffalo Springfield, Crosby Stills and Nash, and CSN&Y, but arguably its true. Disllusioned by the inner turmoil of the CSN experience and just turned on to Country music - funny, since he grew up around it in Texas and in Florida, Stills turned to another former Byrd, (and a more disciplined one than Crosby) Chris Hillman, who was practically burned out on the Burrito experience, to form an eclectic band that could cover and smoke on practically all kinds of popular music, Rock, Country, Folk, R&B, Latin and the result was Manassas In its three-year career Manassas recorded two albums, the first, a self-titled four-lp monster that was received with critical acclaim and which the band was able to present entirely live in concert. By the time that they recorded their second album "Down the Road" several of the members of the band had been too abusive with their drug use, and one could hear the sad results in "Down the Road" despite some highlights from both Stills and Hillman. Lured by record company execs to reform CSN, Stills lost interest, Hillman joined J.D. Souther and Richie Furay (ironically another Buffalo Springfield alumni), and Manassas folded. Flash forward 36 years after the demise of Manassas. Stephen Stills has generously opened his vaults and released "Pieces" which by any stretch of the imagination should have been the album released after that four-record set. Not only does it contain re-worked (at the time) versions of Hillman's "Lies" featuring Joe Walsh on smoking slide, but also a couple of Byron Berline fiddle-flavored Stills meets Burritos outtakes, and a subdued but very effective Hillman-sung version of the Country Classic and Burritos favorite "Dim Lights, Thick Smoke, and Loud, Loud Music". There's also an early version of "Love and Satisfy" a song Hillman later released on the second Souther-Hillman-Furay album. Stills also brings to the table the Manassas version of "Sugar Babe",steel-flavored, courtesy of Al Perkins which is incredibly better than the original version, and the original version was great. He also shines on the Blues numbers, and on an very intriguing Country-flavored "Fox On The Run" with Bonnie Raitt and Hillman contributing backing vocals accompanied by Perkins on Steel (one wonders if this song was a derivative of Manfred Mann's pop hit in England, "Fox on the Run" three years earlier - and probably brought to Stills attention by Graham Nash). Also not to be missed is another re-worked or demo song that later appeared on "Down the Road" - "Do You Remember the Americans" which is sadly missing the harmony vocals on the "Down the Road" version. After listening to these never-before-released tracks one wishes - and hopes that there are more Manassas tracks in the home vaults of Stephen Stills, and that one day he will released them, along with a Manassas Live album one keeps hearing rumors about. * a historical note is appropriate here: the name Manassas came from Stills's interest in the Civil War and a visit by the band to the Manassas (Bull Run) railroad station in Virginia. The station, which is close to the actual battlefields, was an assembly point for Confederate reinforcements in the First Bull Run battle; later

It would help to eliminate some confusion for event submissions if the name of the location name field was "Location Name" - instead of the current "Name".
This may seem like a minor detail - and I guess it is - but, it would make a huge difference in simplifying first time event submissions for people.
Thanks for the great plugin! :-)

A report released by Amnesty International and Greeneace calls for the criminal investigation of Trafigura, the company behind the 2006 dumping of toxic waste in Côte d'Ivoire.
Amnesty International has called on the Ivory Coast government to ensure that compensation paid out by Trafigura reaches victims of toxic waste dumping.
A campaign in the Ivory Coast has led to the multinational oil trader Trafigura agreeing to pay compensation to 30,000 people made ill by the company's dumped waste. The news has provoked a mixed reaction from campaigners.

I'm writing a wrapper class to expose a subset of the functionality of a .NET FTP library edtftpne from Enterprise Distributed Technologies.
When you call the edtftp's GetFileInfos method you get an array of FTPFile objects returned. I'm able to iterate through these but I don't know how to pass them on as a new and different object array containing only Name and Size for each file. Here's the code I have. Sorry it's a little confusing because I have my own class named FTPFile and the .NET library I'm using also has a class named FTPFile. I'm using both of them here. I should probably change the name of my class just to avoid confusion:
Public Function GetFileList() As FTPFile() Implements IFTP.GetFileList
Dim ftpfiles() As EnterpriseDT.Net.Ftp.FTPFile
ftpfiles = fCon.GetFileInfos 'Fill object array
Dim f As EnterpriseDT.Net.Ftp.FTPFile
Dim t As FTPFile = New FTPFile 'My custom class to hold FileName and FileSize for Each file
For Each f In ftpfiles
'What do I do here to put these in my GetFileList array?
End Function
I'm also baffled on how to write my own FTPFile class so that this function can assign properties to each object it creates but the external COM code will see the properties of my FTPFile class as ReadOnly.
Here's what my FTPFile class looks like:
Public Interface IFTPFile
ReadOnly Property FileSize() As Long
ReadOnly Property FileName() As String
End Interface
<ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)> _
Public Class FTPFile : Implements IFTPFile
Private sFileName As String = ""
Private lFileSize As Long
Public ReadOnly Property FileName() As String Implements IFTPFile.FileName
FileName = sFileName
End Get
'Set(ByVal value As String)
' sFileName = value
'End Set
End Property
Public ReadOnly Property FileSize() As Long Implements IFTPFile.FileSize
FileSize = lFileSize
End Get
'Set(ByVal value As Long)
' lFileSize = value
'End Set
End Property
End Class
Maybe I'm going about this totally wrong. I'd just pass on the object array that I'm getting from the GetFileInfos method but COM clients won't have access to the class/object EnterpriseDT.Net.Ftp.FTPFile without me rewriting it, I'm assuming.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

New Webpage Dedicated to Chemical Etching Education
If you're looking to learn more about chemical etching, then you'll want to head on over to the new Chemical Etching Learning Center at Fotofab.com.
The chemical etching process, also known as photochemical machining or photochemical milling, is a subtractive manufacturing process that is used to create high-precision parts with very fine details.
The process of chemical etching (photochemical machining) starts with a design of the exact dimensions of the part to be etched. The design is then used to create a photo resist template, which protects certain areas of the metal from the etching process. After the photo resist is applied to the metal, an acid etchant is used to selectively remove the unprotected, exposed areas of metal. The remaining metal is then rinsed and the photo resist is removed, leaving behind the desired part.
Through chemical etching, businesses can obtain high precision, custom metal parts in a short period of time and with minimal cost. Some of the benefits of chemical etching include: rapid prototyping, smooth and uniform parts, perfectly symmetrical parts, no stress to the metal, tight tolerances, and low tooling and setup costs.
For more detailed information on chemical etching, visit Fotofab's new Chemical Etching Learning Center at: www.fotofab.com/
About Fotofab: Fotofab is on the cutting edge of chemical etching technology. From custom screens and springs, to antennas, contacts, connectors, washers, RF shields and more, Fotofab produces the highest quality precision metal parts to your exact specifications.

Apps have become vital in marketing mobile technologies to consumers, and the allegiance of app developers to Apple has helped propel the success of its devices.
(...) Developers say it is easier, and therefore less costly, to develop apps for the iPhone than for Android phones, in part because there are far more models of Android phones in use, with different screen sizes, processors and other technologies.
The variations in hardware and software are not insurmountable obstacles, developers say, but performing the testing to ensure that apps run properly on most Android phones adds time and cost.
"Writing apps consistently across all of them is really hard," said Nat Brown, an independent iOS developer in Seattle who has created a line of children's apps for the iPhone.
Mr. Brown also said he periodically considered writing Android apps, but had decided against it in part because iPhone users have demonstrated a higher willingness than Android users to pay for apps.
Apple has been far more effective in getting iPhone users to update their phones with the latest version of iOS than Google and its partners have with Android. This makes it easier for iPhone developers to write their apps because there is less variation in the underlying software on the devices.
One other advantage Apple has among developers is the iPad, which has so far maintained its dominance in the tablet category, despite challenges by an assortment of Android tablets.
One occasional source of discontent among Apple's developers is the greater control that the company exerts over its App Store, for which it takes a more hands-on approach to approving software for distribution than Google does.

from the AP via the Akron Beacon Journal,
The New Jersey Devils apparently are getting rugged defenseman Colin White back for the second round of the playoffs against the Ottawa Senators.
The concern now is Devils captain Patrik Elias.
Elias missed his second straight practice with a cold on Wednesday, sparking concern that the left wing on the Devils' top line might not be available for Game 1 at the Continental Airlines Arena on Thursday night.
